Why is it essential to continue to write by hand ?

 After keyboards, here are voice transcribers and AI that are revolutionizing writing. Nevertheless, continuing to write by hand is essential for man.

We are living in an incredible time in all of human history. Technology has revolutionized almost every aspect of our lives, including writing. Before, the beauty of someone's handwriting could be used to say that he would be an intelligent person. However, ever since keyboards rose to popularity, handwriting has increasingly declined. Today, with the arrival of transcribers and their incredible improvement in artificial intelligence, the page is inexorably turned. No need to grab your pen and a sheet, which you can lose at any time. All you have to do is download a transcriber, install it, talk to it so that it draws up everything as it should. But in this changing world, continuing to write by hand is essential in many ways.

A support for the development of fine motor skills

Handwriting is not old fashioned, especially when it comes to children. Teaching a child to write by hand will help him develop the coordination necessary to make daily movements. The same is true for adults. Handwriting helps develop fine motor skills to make precise movements. As the subject seeks to perfect his writing, he makes great progress in developing his motor skills.

A thought aid

What often happens when you give a student a pen and ask them to write ? He tends to gnaw on the cap of his pen. And, very often, it is not because he has nothing to do. This often happens when he is thinking.

This habit is simple proof that handwriting and thinking are intrinsically linked. As the subject writes, he reflects and his ideas are formed; with each sentence, he develops and organizes his ideas. This has a greater impact, since it develops the capacity for reflection which is refined by dint of repetition.

This is something that we cannot delegate to the transcriber or even to artificial intelligence. These cannot improve our ability to think and we risk becoming more dependent and therefore more "dumb" without them.

A memory aid

Handwriting doesn't just help you think. The other cognitive benefit is memorization. Several scientific studies have come to the conclusion that writing by hand makes it easier to memorize than writing with a computer keyboard. The reason is simple: handwriting is more complex.

To realize this, you have only to observe the little pupils carefully. Those who write often are the best at reading.

Easy to use

Handwriting is the most accessible of all forms of writing. You do not need a device, electricity, battery or even charging time. A sheet, or any other medium, and a pen are enough to write down what you want. No matter where you are, you can perform handwriting.

This could also help you develop your creativity in graphic design. Whether you are a draftsman or a designer, the impact of handwriting can only be positive on you.
